Recently I came across the testimonial of a guy, of about my age, who got himself his first wig . He looked very good with the new hair and I must admit that in that moment and days after, while I was remembering his pictures, I felt a bit of envy. However now that I am thinking over it I wonder if I would like such a thing for myself. I can't stop thinking about all sort of comic, or not so comic, situations when you "accidentally" will be left out of hair.

Like: while swimming, or after pulling out your winter hat, or during sex! Just imagine having sex and all of a sudden: look you have no hair! hehehe.... that would be a killing moment! How can you explain, in fact, that you were ashamed of how you looked so that is why you used a wig? And then you will try to explain how it is not a life threatening, nor transmissible nor genetic thing, but well it's still a disease. Or is it not - i am still trying to find an answer on that.

Anyway, recently I realized that what i really miss in not my head hair, but my left eyebrow who stubbornly doesn't want to grow back. It started to leave my face a year ago and today there's barely nothing left. Even if i tried more solutions for it. Because of this my pics looks like that of some mutant... it's hard to look in the mirror - i barely can stand it.

these were just some random thoughts..

Hm. If it's not the hair, then maybe there could be something you could do with the eyebrow. As far as wigs are concerned, I think there are a lot of good vacuum wigs out there. My grandma had one that looked great when she went through chemo for her breast cancer.

I know when the AA was present on my head, I was looking at wigs. As an actor, I thought it would be rather necessary, but had the same fears you have.
I think that wigs are something that men should not use. Just be bald and proud of it.
To each his own, but I think bald guys are sexy!!!!!!
Hey Roberta thanks a lot for the replay, it is one of the cases in which this internet group can bring support to people also outside US. I admire your courage too: it is hard for me as a men to live with this and face my image but i think it's even harder for you as a women (no gender based discrimination implied by this).

I am not sure if i will have my eyebrows done, because I decided anyway to shave the right one as well so to have it done! It makes me look a bit weird but for me it's easier to accept my looks.

Your English is perfect. Don't worry! :) English is not my native language neither and i am sure that i am doing a lot of mistakes as well. But i always consider that as long my message is understood by the rest is ok.


Keep in touch and wishing you good luck!
